INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18049591 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that is designed to analyze medical image data and provide information about related lesions. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The information processing apparatus detects a lesion from medical image data.
- It receives instructions to specify a target lesion based on the detection result.
- It acquires information about a different type of lesion that is related to the specified target lesion.
- It controls a display unit to show the information about the related lesion.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Medical diagnosis and treatment: The information processing apparatus can assist healthcare professionals in analyzing medical images and providing information about related lesions, which can aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient analysis of medical images: The apparatus automates the process of detecting and analyzing lesions from medical images, saving time and effort for healthcare professionals.
- Comprehensive information: By providing information about related lesions, the apparatus helps healthcare professionals gain a more complete understanding of a patient's condition.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy: The apparatus enhances the accuracy of lesion detection and analysis, reducing the risk of misdiagnosis or missed diagnoses.
- Time and cost savings: By automating the analysis process, the apparatus saves time and reduces the need for manual labor, leading to cost savings in healthcare settings.
- Enhanced decision-making: The information provided about related lesions helps healthcare professionals make more informed decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment.
